Product Description

description of AtamA's capabilities or download the demo version to see for
yourself.

Sources

The primary sources of information
used in AtamA are:

James
T. Kent's Repertory of the
Homeopathic Materia Medica (sixth edition). Included rubrics have at
least one high weight (bold) instance of one of the 100 remedies chosen
for the Materia Medica.

William
Boericke's Pocket Manual of
Homeopathic Materia Medica (ninth edition). AtamA has the complete
text for 100 common remedies.

Samuel
Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine
(sixth edition). The standard translation by
R.E. Dudgeon and William Boericke is included, with a special layout that
helps the user read footnotes concurrently.

Analysis

AtamA manages case information in
the form of analysis items. The items are organized by individual, so a case
history is built up over time. On the Analysis tab you can:

Sort
remedies by "number" (total number of symptoms associated with a
remedy) or "totality" (accumulated weight for all symptoms).

Manage analysis items in AtamA, not the computer's
file system. This is a new feature added in response to user
feedback about the difficulty of managing analysis computer files; now
AtamA manages them for you automatically.

Print an analysis if you need to keep paper records.

Search

The Search feature helps a user find symptoms in the
Repertory using keywords that are contained in rubric descriptions. Searching
in AtamA is similar to searching on the internet. On the Search tab you can:

Match
words exactly or using synonyms. AtamA includes a large number of synonyms
for common and uncommon words.

Narrow
results by showing only those rubrics associated with a particular remedy.

Jump
instantly to the Repertory or Materia Medica to explore a rubric's context
or examine a remedy's details.

Dictionary

The newest version of AtamA includes an integrated
dictionary. Because AtamA uses Kent's Repertory,
there are some archaic medical terms. We chose to keep Kent's verbiage for
students studying the original. You can easily look up the
definition of a word in a rubric using the "Define" context menu.

Repertory

10,000+ rubrics in 36 chapters are organized in a convenient
and intuitive tree view, making it easy to browse and find symptoms. On the Repertory tab you can:

View
the remedies for each rubric, sorted by weight.

Add
symptoms to an analysis directly from the Repertory.

Jump
instantly to the Materia Medica to examine a particular remedy's details.

Materia Medica

Your hunt for the simillimum will end with close inspection
of a few remedies. AtamA presents all the information related to a remedy in
one place. On the Medica tab you can:

View
all the rubrics associated with a remedy using AtamA's "reverse
repertory".

Jump
to related remedies by following hyperlinks in Boericke's text.

Jump
instantly to the Repertory to explore a rubric's context.

Text

AtamA contains many documents related to Homeopathy
including Hahnemann's Organon of Medicine
and essays by Kent such as Use of the
Repertory and How to Study the
Repertory. A special footnote pane makes it easier to read the extensively
noted Organon.

Help

AtamA has an extensive help system. It explains features and
includes a step-by-step tutorial with movies that teach you how to use the
software.
